Anyone recently tracking and has any updates on this.
I have seen couple of post regarding bad management and governance, but fundamentally company has been doing all the good things. Seems weird things are not reflecting on price.

Everything material to this company going forward is summarised in the below pic. If everything turned out the way it is mentioned below, I think it will be an exciting opportunity looking at the growth triggers, current valuations and prospects. However, I would say that I am not a big fan of this company’s capital allocation decisions, business operations related decisions in the past.

Disc. Invested with a tracking position and adding gradually.
